Enzo Stuarti! My gawd, that’s a name I probably haven’t heard in 40 years, or close to it. It immediately ding-a-linged my brain but I still had to look it up. He was the TV pitchman for Ragu spaghetti sauce when I was eighth grade or just coming into high school. Very politically incorrect by today’s common practice. My mother used Buitoni, anyway.

Danny Thomas was indeed a proud Bugazzi owner as well as several other celebrities. If you’re ever in North Hollywood, make sure to visit George Barris’ shop. He has a “wall of fame” with pictures of celebrities and cars he has done for them, including the Bugazzi.

Such a thinly disguised Lincoln-seems like most anyone could cook up something similiar with just a little skill. The guy who was selling them new, he was a real salesman. He might have to come out of retirement to sell it this time?

BUGAZZI. Sorry but all I can do is bash this thing. Trying not to bash it is like trying keep my eyes open and not blink. Ain’t gonna happen and I have no control over my inevitable blinking.

BLINK

The name “Bugazzi” is as cornball as they come. So close to Bugatti that ceaseless litigation should have ensued. It’s practically a smear at Bugatti.

The car is (and this is an accomplishment) infinitely more cheesy than what identifies it. To take an existing roadster and turn it into a very recognizable kit car, by loading all kinds of ’70s and ’80s pimp bling on it relentlessly should have been a criminal act. I’m serious, this is offensive to the eyes and would be a source of comedic relief if it weren’t passed off as a legitimate offering by some company.

If I had to make an all-time “10 worst” list, There’s no force in the universe that could keep this car off of it.
